Good observation:
Democrats and progressive groups were appalled that President Donald Trump failed to mention climate change in his first major speech to Congress.
“I think it’s at this point just childish not to mention climate change in a world in which we’re seeing so many effects of it and one day it will be a sickening look back at the power of the fossil fuel industry over our democracy,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) told HuffPost after Tuesday’s address.
“In Trump’s speech I did not hear one word about climate change – the single biggest threat facing our planet,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Trump’s omission isn’t surprising given that he appointed a climate change denier to lead the Environment Protection Agency and he has referred to global warming as a hoax that China invented.
It’s time for environmentalists to double down efforts to fight Trump’s climate denying, pro-pollution. Click below to donate and get involved with any of these great environmental groups:
